My wife five years ago was confined
to her bed with inilammatory rheuma-
tism Of the muscles of the back. The
doctors thought her case hopeless, and
doomed her to be a bedridden invalid
The violent pain kept her awake almost
every night. She lost over thirty pounds
in weight. To ease her pain | thought
1 would put on Allcock's Porous Plas-
tiers. covered her back with them.
To my great delight she began to sleep
well. The pain very much abated in
one week. / then took the plasters of,
washed her back, and put on fresh ones.
At the end Of the second week she in
sisted on getting up, and by the third
week was entirely well and able to at
tend to her household duties.

81 desire to call the attention OF
your readers to subject upon when
there appears to be an incorrect pubic
sentiment-namely, the use OF the tele-
phone by persons who are not SUD
scribers,' and who pay nothing Tor
such use.
"There are numbers of most respect
ablspeople who would never think OF
attempting to ride in a horse-car or
railroad-car without paying, or at the
regular expense of a neighbor, who
would repel as an insult the suggestion
that it was not necessary to take the
newspaper because they could borrow
one, who yet will time and again say to
n friend. Let me use your telephone,
and suit the action to the word, III many
cases repeating the operation so often
that the little preliminary request comes
to be a superfuous fOrmality and els
dropped.
Now these good people undoubted-
" make o distinction in their own
minds, perhaps unconsciously, between
the street-car service and the telephone
service, and think it is quite proper TO
make unlimited free use of the latter.
If they did not think so, | assume that
as law-biding, self-respectlng citizens
they would no more think of 'sponging
telephone talks than they would OF sur
reptitiously appropriating free horse
car rides or daily newspapers.
"It is on this point that the public
mind needs education and enlighten-
ment, and / would beg your readers
to give the subject the candid cOnslde-
ration that it deserves.
"The telephone plant costs the com
pany heavy outlay, just as the plant
of the street railway or newspaper costs
the respective concerns engaged in
these branches of enterprise and public
service. There is also a perpetual out
Law for maintenance of the plant and
performance of the necessary current
operations of the telephone service, just
as there is in the other two lines OF
business, which are mentioned as con-
venient illustrations others might be
named. Manifestly the money involved
in the latter enterprises is not invested
as gratuitous charity, but for the use
and benefit of the public, Just SO far as
there is a public demand and payment
made for such use and benefit, and no
one thinks fora moment of questioning
the propriety of these conditions.
1.-The Telephone Exchange is just as
much and just as Legitimate bushes,
enterprise as either Of the others. Is
there any reason why the Telephone
Company should be asked to be more
of charitable institution than the
others ? am sure that if our citizen.
will.give the matter a moments r.
hecd bn they will either pay, or else
they will not talk by telephone a
I the expense Of the company anc
their neighbors. Such a course would
greatly diminish the unrequited Labor
and expense OF the Telephone Com
pany, and obyiate the necessity o.
a subscriber giving up his telephone
because he is annoyed by demands fol
its gratuitous use, or Of giving it VI
because he finds that by complying Will
his contract and refusing such demand.
he effends customers. Both of these
classes have examples within our expe
rience.
81 appeal to the good sense and fair
ness of the public for justice"

Meeting Tsckahoe Farmers Club.

The very inclement weather of last
Wednesday did not prevent a goodly
number of the Tuckahoe Farmers
Club from holding their monthly meet
ing at the farm OF Captain Frank Guy,
one mile south OF Manchester, in the
county Of Chesterfield. Those who
brayed the stormy day had no regrets
for so doing, for it was most pleasant
and interesting meeting of the club.
The heavy min prevented an inspec-
ton of the farm, which is always a
pleasant duty.
The meeting was called to order
about o'clock in the afternoon by the
president. Professor b. Puryear, and
after some routine business had been
transacted the subject for discussion
